About The Hills of California

Olivier Award-winner Jez Butterworth’s new play will premiere at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End directed by Sam Mendes. Book The Hills of California tickets on TodayTix.

Amidst the driest summer in two centuries in 1976, Blackpool's bustling beaches are a haven for holidaymakers, but for the Webb Sisters, a different journey unfolds. In the stifling backstreets, far from the joyous seaside scenes, they reunite on their way to their mother's neglected guest house for a final farewell.

Playwright Jez Butterworth and director Sam Mendes reunite to premiere this new play after their successful collaboration on the Tony and Olivier Award-winning play The Ferryman. The play premiered at the Royal Court Theatre and was the fastest-selling play in the venue’s history.

Butterworth and Mendes reunite once again to bring a much-anticipated new collaboration to the West End. Book The Hills of California on TodayTix.
